A leisurely start - waiting on high tide at mid-day before slipping our mooring bouy and gingerly creeping out. Confirmation from "SeaTow" that all the bouys were in place - we maneuvered into the channel - not too bad (no breaking waves on the sandbanks) and manageable wave heights to keep on course. Within the hour we were in deep water and away south. Then came the discovery of yet more water under the galley bilge – our own deep water inside the boat(!)....and apparently a reported dead fish floating in it! Thankfully, the "dead fish" was only a wet paper towel floating in the water!!! Nevertheless. four buckets bailing in an hour - was there a serious hull problem? The water was not as salty as would be expected direct from the sea - and it was a lot dirtier! Deciding to carrying, the bailing got less and discovery fo the water from an internal bulkhead helped assessing the problem. Eventually, the bailing slowed and stopped - no new water ingress. But still the real source not yet known - perhaps a leaking water maker pipe used last year in the Bahamas? We will have tot ry later and experiment. Back to the route - a favourable north-easterly at 10-12 knots gave us a pleasant sail throughout the day until evening set in. As the sun slipped beneath the horizon, sundowners were served, the wind dropped so we motored into the darkness - only Jupiter to light the way until the moon rose ,just before midnight. A quiet night, no shipping, nothing to disturb the momentum of 3 hour watches....
